Millions suffer from chronic low back pain. What most people don¿tknow is that the sacroiliac joint is the actual source of pain in up to22% of these cases, and that surgery can provide a cure.Most doctors and surgeons are not trained to check the sacroiliacjoint as a source of pain during a routine examination for back pain.Additional facts are:¿ Diagnosing and surgically treating chronic sacroiliac joint painare not currently taught in medical schools, surgical residencyprograms or spine surgery fellowships.¿ Despite this thousands of sacroiliac joint fusions are beingperformed annually for pain with this number only escalatingeach year.This book explains why and how these opposing facts can exist inAmerica today, and how patients with chronic low back pain canbe educated and proactive in order to find the best appropriate andpermanent relief for their condition.We are currently in an "opioid crisis" in our country and in the world. Every time the diagnosis of Sacroiliac Joint Pain is ignored or missedsets the stage for increased narcotic use to give short term relief forthat untreated pain. From my own experience in evaluating hundredsof such patients, untreated Sacroiliac Joint Pain is certainly a contributorto this crisis.
